One of the episodes where they don't really do much. Friday and Jacobs just interrogate a suspect untill be breaks, having all the investigation done.

If you like Classic TV from of the 50's, I found a catalog site that makes it easy to find and watch episodes streaming from Archive.org at:

The Classic TV Channel

There are currently over 400 individual episodes of about 30 different programs, and the site is growing day by day. Check it out!

Hurrah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been wanting to see this one for years.
Since I heard that Mr. Marvin was in a programme of Dragnet, I have been searching for it for years. Thanks again, IA. Good quality on the print, BTW.
